I own a truly unacceptable number of cabled sweaters, but the time and energy it takes to knit one can be daunting. The Sweater Weather Beanie takes some of my favorite cable sweater patterns and integrates them into a cozy beanie that works up much faster than any sweater. With a central diamond cable motif, the Sweater Weather Beanie also features horseshoe cables, a simple braid cable, and some moss stitch, so all you really need to know how to do is knit and purl stitches.
